My stay at the hotel was fantastic. The rooms were spacious, modern, and had big windows, giving a great view. The staff was exceptionally helpful and ensured I had a wonderful stay. The location was convenient with excellent bus links, although more staff may be needed during busy times. The dining experience was good, but more meat-free options for breakfast would be appreciated. Overall, a great stay with a few minor improvements needed.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were very clean and spacious, but the lack of proper ventilation made it uncomfortably hot throughout the night. The service was generally good, especially with helpful staff like Nicola, but there was a rushed check-in experience. The location was convenient for some activities but not ideal for sightseeing. The dining options were adequate but not exceptional, with limited choices. Overall, decent but with some room for improvement.

The hotel is situated ideally for both the airport and the city center, making it convenient for travelers. The service was a mix of welcoming staff at check-in and breakfast but less hospitable encounters with certain personnel. The location is quiet yet close to key destinations, offering a good balance for visitors. The dining experience varied, with a lack of certain fresh options but redeeming qualities in the staff's friendliness. Overall, the hotel offers decent value with notable room for improvement in some areas.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were clean and comfy, located conveniently for the airport and city center. However, the noise kept me up and the lack of amenities was disappointing. The service was a hit and miss; some staff were very professional and friendly, while others were rude and unhelpful. The location was great for airport access, but not so much for the city center. The dining was subpar with limited options, and the facilities fell short of expectations.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were clean but lacked proper ventilation, making them warm and stuffy. The absence of functioning television added a slight inconvenience to our stay. On the bright side, the room was sealed and impeccably clean, which was impressive. The location, while convenient, had some minor cleanliness issues like mold. The staff's service was friendly and professional, although the budget-friendly hotels offer better beds. The dining experience was subpar, and the additional fee for some services felt a bit steep.

The hotel rooms were everything the pictures promised and more, despite some issues with cracked tiles in the bathroom. However, the size of the room for two people was a bit small, and I was caught off guard by a required down payment that left me short on spending money. The staff's attitude was a mix of ignorance and helpfulness, with some making me feel singled out, but others going above and beyond to assist. The room itself was warm and stuffy, making it difficult to sleep, only alleviated by the provision of a fan.
